How far is a man really gonna get a 36" DBH tree leaning at 45 degrees to swing with nothing but a Dutchy? Really?
.
Long time ago,hard pitched, mebbe not quite 45 on each but a harder lean than see grow usually...
.
Was an experiment, a challenge to self of well i write about this stuff,this should werk like others even at this angle...
Was a Step Dutchman, so allowed to gain some speed going where it wanted, then tricked it into using that speed to bounce harder to where i wanted it.
Must keep force moving to violently rebound off of step, the more force in,the more force out
>>thus raising power for risk and solution at same time, like greater voltage
Instead of truck pulling to side face, adding force to equation, used own already present tree weight and force.
>> this is where my stone skip imagery comes from for Step Dutchman.
.
1 side face closed over house at 'stop sign' of Dutch and force flow took open, available, path of least resistance to side as Tapered was pulling to in concert and step rebound thru to same. (so counting path of least resistance as a force, teasing raging force to it's offering)
.
i ain't recommending it.
Had to really talk self into doing the 2nd one that was higher as light dimmed, but also more over the corner of house, i was 1/0 winner but 1/1 ain't shit especially at these risks
Studied it hard, called the shot, and got it in the right pocket also; 2 in a row.
Never hit another scenario like that.
Don't think would have done same.
Once again not recommending, just saying there is something to adding this 'pepper'; and mostly ID to guard against accidentally spilling into the mix, as power can be used for or against ya; it is definitely there lurking!
i certainly used this work flow more confidently in moving 30' horizontals sideways in tree of much smaller diameter.
.
i see face, Dutch, Tapered etc. as mechanical/machine commands like a list of computer commands to be worked when push button to activate. Only nibbling away at backcut to remove support is what starts/empowers computer program to run thru it's steps. Tapered Hinge pull, close 1 side of face at so many degrees then other side at so many degrees etc.
Like wrote a computer 'script' and pushed play!
.
But is not play, and so don't usually mention this; in 1000's of posts over about 2 decades starting at ISA 'bulletin board service (BBS)' on 25 free Walmart dial-up hours a month dribbling data thru ads like was cold molasses, in 90's before we called this concept a forum. But i done it, and offer my foolish 1xExperiment not as a challenge nor recommendation, but a view to understanding.
.
Mighta been 40, not 45 degrees,might have been '04; but i am sure the dance played out as i say, no need for exaggeration to make a point!
